Last week, illustration agent Scott Hull was in NYC making the rounds. When he walked out of Ogilvy, he noticed in front of their offices were two trash cans advertising IMAGES.COM on all four sides.
"How appropriate that stock companies are advertising on trash cans in NYC. The big question is, how will this campaign effect the value of illustration?" - Scott Hull
FYI, be sure and check out Scott's podcast on his site which will be up in 2 weeks focusing on interviews with buyers of art. Scott mentioned to me has 4 interviews in the can so far. One topic being covered is the use of stock illustration vs. stock photography (pros and cons, etc) - this is from the buyers' perspective so it should be interesting. Visit his site at:
